Lol! Good point!

That’s the reason I didn’t write this kind of post. Every year is the same

All the best!

“corporate work life out there for developers still mainly sucks. Conference calls anyone? Internal political reasons more important than doing the right thing? Feature creep/overload? Outdated architectures? ”

OMG. You sure said it.

So far, I have used Siri pretty much only out of curiosity, to see what she can do and what she knows. So typically I ask her questions that I already know the answer to, just to test her. (I guess this is not dissimilar to taking job candidates out to lunch, to see if you will be able to get along with them later?) She always very patiently answers the questions. My guess is she is well aware that I am testing her, because I always end up asking her the same questions over and over again (big time favorite: “What is the largest city in New Zealand?”); I guess that shows I am not creative or knowledgable enough to come up with anything new to ask her. In any case, so far she has politely refrained from pointing out the repetitiveness of questions and tasks. I usually do feel a little bad for wasting her time, so I usually end the session with a “Thank you, Siri”, to which she sometimes responds, “that is nice of you to say, [user name]“. I actually find that touching.

Great, thanks for clarifying it. I’m still traveling as I write this, with my 4s waiting patiently at home for me.

Comment on A simple way to create custom Rounded Rect Buttons by Markus Nigrin

great idea! afaik, OutletCollections require 4.0 and higher but that’s pretty much the only caveat. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great tip Markus – thank you!

I also wanted to suggest another alternative to the tagging for doing the different setups on your buttons.

You could alternatively create several OutletCollection’s of your UIButtons. One collection for each of the types of treatment you want to apply. In interface builder you’d then just connect the buttons to the appropriate collection and run a for loop over the collection:

for( UIButton *aButton in self.buttonTreatment1Collection )
{
// aButton tweaking code here
}

Just a thought – the tagging also of course works just fine.

Cheers
